The Caldrea Basil Blue Sage Hand Soap refill came in beautiful packaging.
The scent is very clean and fresh. It is perfect for refilling my hand soap dispenser in the kitchen.
I like that the bottles are large refill bottles. Much more sustainable and economical than purchasing one-time use bottles.
The bottle is a pretty good size, but I felt it was a bit expensive for just one bottle. This prompted me to look more into the company and how their products are made. The information I found made me feel that the higher price may be reasonable based on all that they do to support transparency in their ingredients, fair practices, responsible sourcing of materials, etc. I was happy to learn this and found quite a bit of information about their values and ethics on this page: https://www.caldrea.com/ingredients-glossary/.
Overall, I feel that this is a quality product and I support and appreciate their company values.

This body wash is enjoyable yet at the same time doesn’t stand out amongst others. I have been using it as a body wash in the shower versus a soak as it can also be used. The scent is clean, fresh, and invigorating. My skin felt clean and hydrated after finishing my shower.
I can’t say that I particularly noticed that it worked as far as the claims of helping muscles relax, body stiffness disappearing, and an energy recharge with the use of this product. Maybe I need to try using it in a hot, long bath and soak for a while to get those benefits, so the jury is still out on that part. But overall, a pleasant and enjoyable experience using it as a shower gel.

I have been looking for some immune-boosting help, but I hadn’t heard of the Hilma Immune Support drink until recently. Upon doing a little bit of research about it, I was very interested in giving it a try.
I love that it is super easy to use - you simply stir it into hot or cold water. (I chose to use cold water.) I will admit I was a bit skeptical about how it would taste after trying similar products in the past, but it had a very light lemon/ginger taste with just a bit of tartness at the end. I love that I found a drink that can give my immune system extra support while using only natural ingredients (and containing only 1g of sugar). Hilma contains Zinc, Vitamin C, Ginger, Turmeric, Echinacea, & Ivy Leaf.
Upon looking into the product and company a little bit more, I also found that it is Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Made in the USA, and is a Woman-Owned Business - all positive things in my book! It also comes at a fair price point.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with every aspect of this drink mix! I’m so glad I found this product and this company. I will definitely be re-purchasing and recommending this to family and friends.

I tried the Hydralyte+ Energy in individual-use packets. The instructions said to simply pour the packet in 7 ounces of water. I was expecting to have to stir the mix in, but the powder did all the work and mixed in with the water. I was also worried that the Lemon Lime flavor would be very artificial or unpleasant, however the flavor was light and very easy to drink.
The packaging states that the drink is immune-boosting with Vitamins B6, B12, and Vitamin C in addition to hydrating electrolytes. I like that the caffeine in the drink mix comes from green tea and that there are no artificial, colors, flavors or sweeteners. I also appreciated that the mix is gluten-free, dairy free and non-GMO.
Overall, I I enjoyed this drink mix much more than I expected and I would gladly use it again!

I was excited to try Benefit’s POREfessional Setting Spray. The packaging looks very clean and pleasing to the eye.
Once opened, there was a nice but light, fresh scent to the spray. The spray comes out in a very fine mist, which I really liked and preferred over other mists I’ve tried in the past.
When I opened the bottle, I wondered why there is a double cap. Although the product came out in a very nice mist, I did notice occasional dripping coming out of the spray top of the bottle. Maybe that is the purpose of the double cap...to catch any drips?
This product did help to blur my pores and made my skin feel more hydrated. It kept my makeup in place and I would recommend.

The product coverage is light and I like that it didn’t feel like it was weighing down the skin under my eyes. The scent is fine, not too strong or displeasing. For me, the application was just ok. The rollers don’t fully seem to melt the product into my skin and I find myself having to use my fingers and/or a reusable rolling tool I own to work the product into my skin the rest of the way. The roller balls feel nice and cool, especially if you keep this product in the fridge between uses. However, I wonder a bit about bacteria getting back into the tube because of the rollers. I also don’t like the idea of throwing this away each time because it feels wasteful, especially when I have a reusable (and washable) rolling tool and larger containers of eye cream that I could use instead. For those reasons and because I wish this product had a more clean ingredient list, I will be sticking with the under eye cream and my reusable tool that I’m currently using. -

I have been enjoying Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre Eau De Parfum. The scent is beautiful and long-lasting without being overpowering. I also love the elegant and sophisticated design of the perfume bottle. I like being able to dab on the desired amount of product based on the design of this bottle. I would buy this eau de parfum and would recommend it to friends. -

The Michael Kors Gorgeous! Eau De Parfum Spray is packaged very elegantly. Upon opening, the inside packaging has print that says “Hello Gorgeous”, which is nice to see. The rectangular glass bottle features a spray top and an angled corner with an angled lid on the spray top. This scent is unique and lasts. I used it sparingly and lightly, otherwise I found that it was a bit too strong for me. It also was a bit too floral for my taste, but a still a good scent. Overall, Gorgeous! -
